Gender Affirming Surgeries and Complications
While some trans and non-binary people transition their gender socially without changing their bodies, or with only hormone therapy, many choose to have surgery to help align their body with their sense of identity, and to decrease dysphoria.

The neovaginal vault is created between the rectum and the urethra, using the penile skin to line the vagina. Labia are created using scrotal skin, the testes are removed, and a clitoris is created from a portion of the glans. Often, prior to the procedure, trans women undergo electrolysis of the penile and scrotal skin to create hair

Why are we treating a mental illness with surgery?
No ... really? Well, that was NOT what my ex-wife said ...
